Default ClearNav Vario Spoiler Warning

Hi Dan

In case the rather shorthand answers have still left things unclear,
the system is working correctly for Gear and Spoiler Warnings
active.

In most ships you don't want to roll with spoilers open, so
have that warning active. Spoilers open, gear down, no
airspeed is a warning and SPOILERS will show on the screen.
For LS8/ASW24 or whatever where you want to roll with them
open until you have good roll control, disable the warning.

You will still get a warning (with Gear Warning enabled) if
you open spoilers with gear up. You can test the spoiler
warning function is correct by pressurising pitot to
50 knots, opening the spoilers should then give no warning
unless the gear is up.

Peter.

In my installation, while sitting on the trailer, opening the
spoiler causes the Spoiler warning to flash and sound

happens without respect to the gear position or switch

Reading the switches in the Info section of the CNv, I see

switches are correctly wired and functioning (both show 0

status as appropriate).

Is it possible that this is a ground test function and I won't

know
if everything works as intended until my first takeoff?

Is what you are seeing a "spoilers open" warning (during

takeoff roll)
vs=
.. a "gear up" warning?
